Abstract
The Elsinore Highway, inaugurated in 1956, is the first stretch of highway in Denmark and constitutes a relevant case for future heritage listing. Yet as part of the European highway E55 it breaks every boundary of place; and with added lanes, regular maintenance and safety compliance hardly any of the original material is left. Through the analysis of a case study, for instance the Elsinore Highway, the paper asks how current concepts of heritage can encompass, describe, and manage infrastructures? The paper rests on a conception of heritage as both a cultural construct, continuously negotiated as part of contemporary society (Tunbridge & Ashworth, 1996), and as situated material evidence (Olsen, 2010).
